That was former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
He was just fired from his job as 55th Speaker of the House. He is the first Speaker in the history of this country to be removed by a vote of the House.
And he has just announced he will not run for Speaker again.
He spent about 10 minutes recapping his life story and how he got to Washington DC and talked about what an honor it was to serve as Speaker.
So now – House Republicans are scrambling to find someone among their conference who can became the 56th Speaker.
But what about someone who is *not* a member of the House. Maybe like former President Trump – if you believe the trend on social media. McCarthy says not a good idea.
So who is going to be? Watch the next video for the Republican plan forward.
Watch McCarthy’s full goodbye press conference here.
